We use IBM / Lenovo switches for such traffic. Very low latency, rear to=20
front or front to rear airflow models, large buffers, FCoE, OpenFlow=20
support, great price-performance...

G8124E or G8272 may be the right models, use DAC cables instead of SFP+ if =

possible.

Hi guys,

We're shortly going to be getting some 10G SANs, and I was wondering=20
what people were using as SAN switches for 10G SANs.

It is my understanding that low buffer sizes make most 'normal' 10G=20
ethernet switches unsuitable for the job.

We're pretty much an exclusive Juniper shop, but are not biased in any=20
way -- best tool for the job is what I've been tasked with to find.

Keeping that in mind, how would something like a EX4550 fare in the=20
role? Are there better devices in the same price range?

Thanks!
